Protecting Your Civil Rights in Madison, Wisconsin

Nothing is more important than protecting the constitutional rights of the accused. Being accused of a crime does not waive your rights and you deserve justice if a government employee or entity has violated them.

Going against the government is as difficult and complex as it sounds. It is important to have an experienced advocate representing your interests. In Madison and surrounding Wisconsin communities, you can rely on attorney Zaki Zehawi to skillfully handle your federal civil rights action. His decades of criminal defense experience inform his civil rights practice, where he focuses on ensuring that nobody is above the law – even the police.

Were Your Rights Violated by Law Enforcement?

The vast majority of law enforcement officers are good people who uphold their oaths in the line of duty. Unfortunately, it only takes one action by one officer to violate the civil rights of a defendant. Actions such as excessive use of force in the course of an arrest, unjustified shootings, and police brutality, racial profiling, false arrests, and abuse in prisons are violations of civil rights that must be dealt with.

The remedy is bringing a federal civil rights action (42 U.S. Code § 1983). A successful claim can provide financial compensation to compensate you for the violation of your rights and the damages you suffered as a result. Beyond the compensation for victims, these suits are important in reigning in officers and departments that operate beyond the boundaries laid out in our constitution.
